using exec in a script; was "preloading a driver for an autostarted application in LXDE"

... script to be placed somewhere in the user's path
such that it won't get clobbered by an official Debian package.
/usr/local/bin is the place to be.

Right oh; this trivial script works.

peter@dalton:~$ ls -l /usr/local/bin/skype
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root staff 67 Mar 9 18:26 /usr/local/bin/skype
peter@dalton:~$ cat /usr/local/bin/skype
#!/bin/sh
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so /usr/bin/skype

I didn't succeed in using "exec ..." and the script process
continues along with skype. Is there a way to preload the
module, start skype, terminate the script and leave skype
running?

Thanks, ... Peter E.
